Genesis Chapter 42 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now when Jacob <H3290> saw <H7200> that there was <H3426> corn <H7668> in Egypt, <H4714> Jacob <H3290> said <H0559> unto his sons, <H1121> Why do ye look <H7200> one upon another?
2: And he said, <H0559> Behold, I have heard <H8085> that there is <H3426> corn <H7668> in Egypt: <H4714> get you down <H3381> thither, and buy <H7666> for us from thence; that we may live, <H2421> and not die. <H4191>
3: And Joseph's <H3130> ten <H6235> brethren <H0251> went down <H3381> to buy <H7666> corn <H1250> in Egypt. <H4714>
4: But Benjamin, <H1144> Joseph's <H3130> brother, <H0251> Jacob <H3290> sent <H7971> not with his brethren; <H0251> for he said, <H0559> Lest peradventure <H6435> mischief <H0611> befall <H7122> him.
5: And the sons <H1121> of Israel <H3478> came <H0935> to buy <H7666> [corn] among <H8432> those that came: <H0935> for the famine <H7458> was in the land <H0776> of Canaan. <H3667>
6: And Joseph <H3130> [was] the governor <H7989> over the land, <H0776> [and] he [it was] that sold <H7666> to all the people <H5971> of the land: <H0776> and Joseph's <H3130> brethren <H0251> came, <H0935> and bowed down <H7812> themselves before him [with] their faces <H0639> to the earth. <H0776>
7: And Joseph <H3130> saw <H7200> his brethren, <H0251> and he knew <H5234> them, but made himself strange <H5234> unto them, and spake <H1696> roughly <H7186> unto them; and he said <H0559> unto them, Whence <H0370> come <H0935> ye? And they said, <H0559> From the land <H0776> of Canaan <H3667> to buy <H7666> food. <H0400>
8: And Joseph <H3130> knew <H5234> his brethren, <H0251> but they knew <H5234> not him.
9: And Joseph <H3130> remembered <H2142> the dreams <H2472> which he dreamed <H2492> of them, and said <H0559> unto them, Ye <H0859> [are] spies; <H7270> to see <H7200> the nakedness <H6172> of the land <H0776> ye are come. <H0935>
10: And they said <H0559> unto him, Nay, my lord, <H0113> but to buy <H7666> food <H0400> are thy servants <H5650> come. <H0935>
11: We <H5168> [are] all one <H0259> man's <H0376> sons; <H1121> we [are] true <H3651> [men], thy servants <H5650> are no spies. <H7270>
12: And he said <H0559> unto them, Nay, but to see <H7200> the nakedness <H6172> of the land <H0776> ye are come. <H0935>
13: And they said, <H0559> Thy servants <H5650> [are] twelve <H8147> <H6240> brethren, <H0251> the sons <H1121> of one <H0259> man <H0376> in the land <H0776> of Canaan; <H3667> and, behold, the youngest <H6996> [is] this day <H3117> with our father, <H0001> and one <H0259> [is] not.
14: And Joseph <H3130> said <H0559> unto them, That [is it] that I spake <H1696> unto you, saying, <H0559> Ye [are] spies: <H7270>
15: Hereby <H2063> ye shall be proved: <H0974> By the life <H2416> of Pharaoh <H6547> ye shall not go forth <H3318> hence, except your youngest <H6996> brother <H0251> come <H0935> hither.
16: Send <H7971> one <H0259> of you, and let him fetch <H3947> your brother, <H0251> and ye shall be kept <H0631> in prison, that your words <H1697> may be proved, <H0974> whether [there be any] truth <H0571> in you: <H0854> or else <H3808> by the life <H2416> of Pharaoh <H6547> surely ye [are] spies. <H7270>
17: And he put them all together <H0622> into ward <H4929> three <H7969> days. <H3117>
18: And Joseph <H3130> said <H0559> unto them the third <H7992> day, <H3117> This do, <H6213> and live; <H2421> [for] I fear <H3373> God: <H0430>
19: If ye <H0859> [be] true <H3651> [men], let one <H0259> of your brethren <H0251> be bound <H0631> in the house <H1004> of your prison: <H4929> go <H3212> ye, carry <H0935> corn <H7668> for the famine <H7459> of your houses: <H1004>
20: But bring <H0935> your youngest <H6996> brother <H0251> unto me; so shall your words <H1697> be verified, <H0539> and ye shall not die. <H4191> And they did <H6213> so.
21: And they said <H0559> one <H0376> to another, <H0251> We [are] verily <H0061> guilty <H0818> concerning our brother, <H0251> in that <H0834> we saw <H7200> the anguish <H6869> of his soul, <H5315> when he besought <H2603> us, and we would not hear; <H8085> therefore is this distress <H6869> come <H0935> upon us.
22: And Reuben <H7205> answered <H6030> them, saying, <H0559> Spake <H0559> I not unto you, saying, <H0559> Do not sin <H2398> against the child; <H3206> and ye would not hear? <H8085> therefore, behold, also his blood <H1818> is required. <H1875>
23: And they knew <H3045> not that Joseph <H3130> understood <H8085> [them]; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. <H3887>
24: And he turned himself about <H5437> from them, and wept; <H1058> and returned <H7725> to them again, and communed <H1696> with them, and took <H3947> from them Simeon, <H8095> and bound <H0631> him before their eyes. <H5869>
25: Then Joseph <H3130> commanded <H6680> to fill <H4390> their sacks <H3627> with corn, <H1250> and to restore <H7725> every man's <H0376> money <H3701> into his sack, <H8242> and to give <H5414> them provision <H6720> for the way: <H1870> and thus <H3651> did <H6213> he unto them.
26: And they laded <H5375> their asses <H2543> with the corn, <H7668> and departed <H3212> thence.
27: And as one <H0259> of them opened <H6605> his sack <H8242> to give <H5414> his ass <H2543> provender <H4554> in the inn, <H4411> he espied <H7200> his money; <H3701> for, behold, it [was] in his sack's <H0572> mouth. <H6310>
28: And he said <H0559> unto his brethren, <H0251> My money <H3701> is restored; <H7725> and, lo, <H2009> [it is] even in my sack: <H0572> and their heart <H3820> failed <H3318> [them], and they were afraid, <H2729> saying <H0559> one <H0376> to another, <H0251> What [is] this [that] God <H0430> hath done <H6213> unto us?
29: And they came <H0935> unto Jacob <H3290> their father <H0001> unto the land <H0776> of Canaan, <H3667> and told <H5046> him all that befell <H7136> unto them; saying, <H0559>
30: The man, <H0376> [who is] the lord <H0113> of the land, <H0776> spake <H1696> roughly <H7186> to us, and took <H5414> us for spies <H7270> of the country. <H0776>
31: And we said <H0559> unto him, We [are] true <H3651> [men]; we are no spies: <H7270>
32: We [be] twelve <H6240> <H8147> brethren, <H0251> sons <H1121> of our father; <H0001> one <H0259> [is] not, and the youngest <H6996> [is] this day <H3117> with our father <H0001> in the land <H0776> of Canaan. <H3667>
33: And the man, <H0376> the lord <H0113> of the country, <H0776> said <H0559> unto us, Hereby shall I know <H3045> that ye [are] true <H3651> [men]; leave <H3240> one <H0259> of your brethren <H0251> [here] with me, and take <H3947> [food for] the famine <H7459> of your households, <H1004> and be gone: <H3212>
34: And bring <H0935> your youngest <H6996> brother <H0251> unto me: then shall I know <H3045> that ye [are] no spies, <H7270> but [that] ye [are] true <H3651> [men: so] will I deliver <H5414> you your brother, <H0251> and ye shall traffick <H5503> in the land. <H0776>
35: And it came to pass as they emptied <H7324> their sacks, <H8242> that, behold, every man's <H0376> bundle <H6872> of money <H3701> [was] in his sack: <H8242> and when [both] they and their father <H0001> saw <H7200> the bundles <H6872> of money, <H3701> they were afraid. <H3372>
36: And Jacob <H3290> their father <H0001> said <H0559> unto them, Me have ye bereaved <H7921> [of my children]: Joseph <H3130> [is] not, and Simeon <H8095> [is] not, and ye will take <H3947> Benjamin <H1144> [away]: all these things are against me.
37: And Reuben <H7205> spake <H0559> unto his father, <H0001> saying, <H0559> Slay <H4191> my two <H8147> sons, <H1121> if I bring <H0935> him not to thee: deliver <H5414> him into my hand, <H3027> and I will bring him to thee again. <H7725>
38: And he said, <H0559> My son <H1121> shall not go down <H3381> with you; for his brother <H0251> is dead, <H4191> and he is left <H7604> alone: if mischief <H0611> befall <H7122> him by the way <H1870> in the which ye go, <H3212> then shall ye bring down <H3381> my gray hairs <H7872> with sorrow <H3015> to the grave. <H7585>
